NEW: Spinlock Deckvest Vito AFS

Deckvest Vito AFS sets an unmatched safety standard.

Building on several years of research into buoyancy performance, the updated VITO features a new revolutionary integrated flotation construction.

The AFS (Advanced Flotation System) puts the buoyancy of the inflated jacket where it functions best - giving enhanced rotation, freeboard and most importantly stability in the water. The low-profile gives users a much higher level of mobility both in and out of the water - essential in a rescue situation and for self-help.

- Chest measurement: 80-145cm
- 170N buoyancy
- Fitted with Harness Release System (HRS™)
- Pylon Lifejacket Light™ and Lume-On™ lifejacket bladder illumination lights fitted
- Hammar® Hydrostatic Automatic Inflator

The Hammar® inflation system is activated by water pressure and will not inflate until the cap is approximately 10cm underwater.

This system is designed for use in more extreme conditions and extended offshore sailing. The benefit of the Hammar® system is that the jacket cannot accidentally inflate from being wet with rain and sea spray.

The unit has a single indicator to show if armed. Delayed inflation can be caused if full immersion of the firing head is delayed by buoyant foul weather clothing.
